Ingredients for Chicken Pot Pie Soup
The key to making great chicken pot pie soup, is to adequately season. Be sure to taste and season at the end.
- Aromatics – Onions, carrots, celery, and garlic are cooked in butter as a base for flavoring the soup.
- Mushrooms – sauteeing until golden adds a boost of flavor
- Flour – just 1/3 cup thickens the soup to make it creamy
- Chicken Stock – homemade bone broth will taste best, but storebought works.
- Potatoes – we used Yukon gold
- Chicken – light or dark meat works great
- Peas and Corn – we use frozen peas and corn since we stock them in our freezer, but canned corn will also work.
- Cream – heavy or regular whipping cream or even a light cream would work if you want a leaner soup.
- Parsley – we love it in the soup for flavor and garnish with it to add color and freshness.

How to Cook the Chicken
We love using leftover rotisserie to make Chicken pot pie soup. You can use cooked chicken breasts or a store-bought Rotisserie Chicken. If you want to cook your own chicken, our go-to recipes are:
- Oven Roasted Chicken – tender and juicy with a crisp, salty skin
- Instant Pot Whole Chicken – the fastest way to cook a chicken

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Once you have all of your ingredients chopped and prepped, cooking this soup is easier than you think.
- Saute vegetables – melt butter and sautee onion, celery, and carrots and saute for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add mushrooms and garlic and saute 5 minutes.
- Add flour and saute 1 minute
- Add broth and potatoes – season with salt and pepper and simmer until potatoes are tender.
- Add Chicken, peas, corn, cream, and parsley – simmer 5 minutes.
- Season to taste and serve.
Kitchen Tip: A dutch oven is one of our favorite kitchen tools for making soup. This 5 1/2 Qt Dutch Oven is one of our most used tools. It conducts heat well and can go from the stove to the oven. A good pot can last a lifetime.
Serve With
Chicken pot pie soup is so hearty and loaded with tender chicken, potatoes, and veggies. It really is a meal in itself. We love to pair it with:

Common Questions
You can substitute chicken with shredded leftover turkey meat for a turkey pot pie, or use diced cooked ham.
You can use corn starch instead of flour. Combine 1/2 cup cold water with 2 Tbsp corn starch. Stir that slurry in with the cream in the last 5 minutes and let it simmer and thicken the soup.
You can add a slurry of corn starch in water (see gluten-free tip above), adding it to reach your desired thickness.
Make-Ahead
Chicken pot pie will keep well in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days, depending on the freshness of your chicken. The USDA recommends refrigerating cooked chicken for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot.

I hope this Chicken Pot Pie Soup will become a new favorite for you. The best part is, you don’t have to spend time making a crust or wait for it to bake in the oven like you would a classic pot pie before you can enjoy it.

Thank you for your step-by-step recipes it has really helped me as I was never taught to cook, I’m now in my 40s trying to learn. I have enjoyed all your recipes that I have made.
You’re very welcome! I’m glad that you’re enjoying my recipes, Shannon.
Could you tell me where you got the wooden ladle please

Sooooo good!!!!
Glad you loved it, Sydney!
This soup is delicious and easy to make. To accommodate my vegan family members I took out a couple of portions before adding the chicken and cream.
Thanks Natasha for inspiring me to cook
You’re welcome, Jill. I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe and you were able to make a vegan friendly version of it too!
$12-14 to make? What year was this? 1954? lol
Hi Alan, you are correct, that did need to be revisited. Wouldn’t those 1954 food prices be nice?
this soup is delicious, I added some sweet potato and turnip. I took out a couple of servings before adding the chicken and cream so that my vegan family members could eat it too. It was also really easy to make. Thank you Natasha for the insiration
Hello Jill, thank you for leaving an awesome review. I’m glad you loved it and you were able to do a vegan version of this recipe too!
This is the most delicious soup I’ve ever had! I made it for lunch a few days ago and the 4 of us finished the whole thing! Would completely recommend.
I’m so happy to hear that you loved the pot pie soup!
Thank you Natasha, Your recipes are awesome. I tried this one and it came out so well my family loved it and it was wholesome too. it was easy and quick.
You’re very welcome! I’m glad you are enjoying my recipes.
I wanted t try this exactly, that’s what I do with all new recipes to me, but this one I modified from the start because my husband really doesn’t like potatoes unless they’re fries or skins. instead of the potatoes, I used Spatzles, and frozen mixed veggie combo. everything else, spices, cream, chicken, broth I followed to the tee. My husband liked this a lot better then one I made up . So thank you for helping me out.
I’m so glad he enjoyed it! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
This was delicious 😋 I love all your recipes especially your lasagna.
That’s great to hear, Karen. Thank you for your great feedback and I hope you love every recipe that you will try!
I tried this soup at a friend’s yesterday and we all loved it. I will give it a try myself but may add a little curry powder (during the butter with vegetable saute step) for a spicier flavor.
Nice, thanks for sharing that with us. I’m glad you and your friends enjoyed this recipe!
I just love all your recipes,
I am going to make this soup,I just wonder what the cookies you had with it are called so I can serve that with the soup.thanks Natasha for all your fantastic videos!
Hi Johanna, please see the section in the recipe titled: “Serve With” for several ideas.
I love this soup. I just made a couple of gallons. I freeze some for those cold nights. I’m thinking I would like to add an herb or two. Maybe thyme or ?
I’m not sure but would like to something to boost the flavor a little. Any suggestions?
That’s a good idea to make this recipe ahead. I think you can use either parsley or thyme. Just depends on which one you like better.
Thanks for your prompt response. Love your videos 👏🏻
can u use half and half instead of cream?
Hi Linda, I haven’t tested that substitution, but I imagine that may work. If you experiment, I would love to know how you like that.
I have use half and half, is just as good but lighter.
Oh my…. this recipe is a keeper! It’s delicious and my family loved it.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
This recipe is delicious. Quick, easy, tasty and filling. I will make it again and again.
